5. RESTRUCTURING OF POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On May 3, 1996, the Company's 50.38% owned subsidiary, Maine Energy
Recovery Company LP ("Maine Energy") completed a restructuring of its Power
Purchase Agreement (the "PPA") with Central Maine Power Company ("CMP") and the
sale of its electrical generating capacity to CL Power Sales One, L.L.C. ("CL
One"). At closing Maine Energy Received a payment from CL One of $85,000,000 and
the PPA was amended, retroactive to November 6, 1995, to reflect a reduction in
CMP's purchase price per kWh from $0.16 to $0.0718. In addition, the PPA was
extended from the year 2007 to 2012.
Based upon certain contingencies in the agreements, Maine Energy will
defer $45,000,000 of the proceeds of the sale of its capacity and will recognize
it as revenue ratably in the future as the contingencies are eliminated. Maine
Energy recognized a one time gain of $32,057,359 from this transaction.
Maine Energy has used the proceeds from the sale of its capacity to
repay the $64,500,000 Resource Recovery Bonds and to retire the bank letter of
credit issued to enhance the credit of the bonds. The remaining proceeds were
used together with unrestricted cash balances to repay $29,500,000 of the total
of subordinated notes payable to limited partners.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
Electric power revenues decreased by for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The decreased revenue
was a result of a reduced contract rate per kilowatt hour under the new PPA from
15.53(cent) to 7.18(cent) per kWh resulting in decreased revenues of $1,985,000
and $1,550,000 for the quarter and six months compared to the same period in
1995. Also, as a result of the sale of capacity under the PPA, the Company has
deferred $45,000,000 of revenue from this transaction which will be amortized
through May 31, 2007.
Revenues from the gain on the sale of capicity were $32,057,000 for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 arising from the sale of capacity
under our Power Purchase Agreement("PPA").
Revenues from waste processing increased by $120,000 and $169,000 for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same periods in
1995. The increase principally from a 5,328 and 8,329 increase in tons of waste
processed which resulted in increased revenues of $198,000 and $299,000 for the
1996 quarter and six months, respectively. This increase was offset by an $1.46
and $1.13 decrease in the average tipping fee which resulted in decreased
revenues of $78,000 and $130,000 for the quarter and six months resulting from a
reduction in the charter and host communities tipping fees as required upon the
retirement of the $64,500,000 in bonds at Maine Energy.
Other waste handling revenues increased by $732,000 and $609,000 for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively compared to the
same period 1995. The increase in the quarter and six months is primarily from
the inclusion of ash recycling revenues of $524,000 and $608,000 in the quarter
and six months, respectively. Additional increases resulted principally from an
increase in specialty waste revenues of $215,000 and $369,000 for the quarter
and six months compared to the same period in 1995. KTI Bio Fuels revenues
increased by $49,000 for the quarter as a result of increased supply of
woodwaste while for the six months revenues have decreased $267,000 principally
as a result of a shutdown for four weeks during the first quarter of 1996 as the
result of deminished supply of woodwaste and severe weather conditions. Lease
revenue from transportation equipment decreased by $56,000 and $101,000 for the
quarter and six months, respectively as the result of the sale of equipment.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Operating costs increased by $1,366,000 and $1,950,000 for the
quarter and six months ended June 30,1996 compared to the same period in 1995.
The increase in the quarter and six months results principally from a $362,000
and $803,000 increase in maintenance expense and a $536,000 and $661,000
increase in payroll and related costs for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1996, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1995, both at Maine
Energy. An additional increase in the quarter and six months arises from the
inclusion of ash recycling expenses of $486,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $286,000
and $105,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the
same periods in 1995 principally as result of a decrease in amortization expense
resulting from the write off of deferred costs related to the PPA in the
quarter.
INTEREST AND OTHER ITEMS
Interest expense decreased by $1,181,000 and $1,518,000 for the
quarter and six months compared to the same periods in 1995, principally because
of the retirement of $64,500,000 of bonds and $29,500,000 subordinated note
payment on May 3, 1996, lower interest rates on bonds while they were
outstanding, and a decrease in letter of credit fees all at Maine Energy.
10
12
Minority interest of $14,060,000 and $14,892,000 for the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, principally results from the
elimination of 49.38% of Maine Energy's net income through May 2, 1996 and
25.85% after May 2, 1996, net of amortization.
The Company reported a loss from discontinued operations of $223,000
and $218,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively,
compared to income of $249,000 and $342,000 for the same periods in 1995. The
discontinued operations relates to the computer service division which, as
described in the notes to the financial statements was sold on July 26, 1996.
The extraordinary loss of $4,757,000 for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1996 resulted from the early extinguishment of bonds at Maine
Energy as related to the sale of capacity under the PPA.
The Company had net income of $11,589,000 and $11,611,000 for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to net income
of $26,000 and $384,000 for the same periods in 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since December 31, 1995, the Company has made private placements of
$2,503,314 of notes together with 400,458 warrants to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock at $6.00 per share of which $2,003,314 has been repaid
prior to maturity. The remaining notes are due November 1, 1996. The warrants
expire on March 31, 2001. The Company used the proceeds of the offerings to fund
its AART obligation and fund working capital.
On June 30, 1996, the Company's current portion of long-term debt was
$9,266,000. As a result of the sale of assets on July 26, 1996, the Company
repaid approximately $2,694,000 of the current portion of long-term debt. While
it may be necessary for the Company to raise additional funds through capital or
debt, management is confident that it will meet all of its short term
obligations.
Maine Energy used the proceeds from the sale of its capacity to repay
the $64,500,000 Resource Recovery Bonds and to retire the bank letter of credit
issued to enhance the credit of the bonds. The remaining proceeds were used
together with unrestricted cash balances to repay $29,500,000 of the total of
subordinated notes payable to limited partners. Subordinated notes payable after
the repayment aggregate $13,485,804.
As mentioned in the notes to the financial statements, the Company
received a liquidating dividend of $3,503,000 in cash and approximately $900,000
in accounts receivable from its wholly-owned subsidiary, DataFocus Incorporated.
These proceeds were and will be used to retire the private placements mentioned
above and working capital purposes.
Significant restrictions exist as to the amount of cash flow that can
be distributed to the Company by Maine Energy and PERC. As of June 30, 1996, the
Company had $763,000 of cash and cash equivalents of which $538,000 is held by
Maine Energy, and limited to use in Maine Energy's operations so long as
existing subordinated debt remains outstanding. The Company has available unused
lines of credit aggregating $850,000. Management of KTI believes that available
cash flow from subsidiaries and affiliates and unused lines of credit will meet
its current needs for liquidity. Moreover, management believes that the Company
has the ability to access additional borrowing facilities if needed although no
assurances can be given in this regard.
